I Used Forex Killer Forex Trading System Yesterday

I Used Forex Killer Forex Trading System Yesterday

My miniature schnauzer is barking up a storm at a lizard just outside the patio door. I just know she would do anything to figure out how to open the door and rocket out to chase the poor creature back up a tree. To make it easier, I've placed a desk bell on the floor near the door so Ginger can ring it when she wants out to chase the critters. Sort of pet automation.

Trading Forex would be totally cool if you never had to sleep. The reason is the markets are always open around the world. Your positions are always doing something. It would be great to teach Ginger to watch the monitor and bark at a nice change. I would then run over to the computer and place my order.

But until that day, there are some great breakthroughs in robot, or adaptive software that can actually feel out good picks and keep an eye on the markets for you. Naturally there is work to set up these programs, but once you have your parameters in place, you'd be surprised how well the system works - and how you can actually profit from it. If you're a diehard Forex trader, reluctant to check out these things, my advice is to open a demo account at another brokerage and play around with the system so you can see all the bells and whistles.

As you may know, you can lose your shirt and other clothing if you doze off while trading Forex. This is an art as everyone knows. And even the best Forex review sites challenge us to use extreme caution when entering any market, especially with a software program. Once such program I tried was the Forex Killer. Scary name, for sure - but I was interested to see what it could do. There has been some controversy with their website because the owner, Andreas Kerchberger, has an actor play himself. In reality, Mr. Kerchberger is a German who formerly worked with Deutsch Bank and traded at home.

Through some programming, Forex Killer will analyze the percentage in pip change and then gives you what it believes is an ideal buy or sell time. When I tested it, given my knowledge of Forex, it always seemed to trade earlier than I would, and no stops - which is what I do - but getting out was left longer than I was comfortable with. Granted, this thing has none of the emotions and passions I walk into the room with. And that's probably why, slowly but surely, it picks and creates little pockets of profit along the way. So there you go.

Will I always use Forex Killer? I will probably keep it running on one of my accounts and see what happens. You have to watch it and use some common sense. But I think it would make a nice addition to your trading tools and certainly affordable. With the way tech is going, it's too risky to just brush off such programs as mere scams. You have to try them out for yourself. And now I hear Ginger ringing the bell again. I think I'm going to do a web search for a scarecrow for lizards.

Confident Trading Tactics

Confident Trading Tactics

I wanted to take the time to share with you some confident trading tactics for forex. This is a great business with over three trillion dollars a day in trades. That makes it the biggest in the world and potentially the most profitable. The most amazing part about this business is that it acts completely independent of world recessions and economic downturns. Profits sum down to a ratio in difference between currency and that is how we make money.

I think the most important thing you need to understand when you're looking for a trade is that the buy price is completely useless. As consumers in a grocery store, we look for the cheapest price and when we find it, we're happy. This is different. We're not consuming money, we're trading it. This means that the cheapest price isn't necessarily the best trade. You don't make one cent of profit until you exit the trade. That means the sell price is the most important thing. So when you're looking for a good trade to make, always look for the exit prices, than compare it to the original cost and you can now determine if you have a good buy.

When you get confident, sometimes you get overconfident. The way you can tell this is if you feel too invincible. You feel like every trade will just workout in your favor. This is a poor state of mind because you're going to let down over and over again. Confidence is one that exists in reality and it knows the limitations. Remember, that is what you're striving for.

Managing Your Forex Trading

Managing Your Forex Trading

It is an extremely important discipline - that of happily accepting losses. To many new (and some not so new) traders, the thought of a losing trade is simply not acceptable.

The reality of trading is of course a mixture of both wins and losses with success being dictated by the ratio of those wins and losses, and it is a complicated ratio. I often see it defined as "you must aim for a win to loss ratio of at least 2:1". Well that's nice work if you can get it. The markets rarely allow us the luxury of employing anything as straight forward as that.

The real ratio in most cases is to be able - in general - to make more wins than losses and for those wins to be greater in value then the losses.

Yes it would be nice to only enter those trades that will definitely give us at least a 2:1 winning ratio but I have yet to hear of any trader that can consistently do this. The market just does not operate in that certain way. Because of this, a vital part of any trading method must include money management.

By employing a well developed strategy of money management, it helps to even out the wins and losses thereby allowing you to easily accept the losses that will most certainly be coming your way.

If each time that you trade, your very survival depends upon a win, then you will not like the prospect of a losing trade, but rest assured that sooner or later - and likely sooner - you will get one whether you like it or not.

Many new traders look for, or try to develop, strategies that rarely if ever lose. This is a fruitless exercise. One of the things that has to be accepted by traders is that no matter how successful the method that you follow, there will still be losing trades.

As an example, you may have a system that has a win to loss ratio of 4:1 (which would be extremely unusual). In our example, from 100 trades there will be 80 winning trades and 20 losing trades.

You wins and losses are a percentage and this percentace is somewhat random in order. If you were unfortunate, you could find that the next 20 trades that you execute all lose. When trading too large a portion of your account it is only too easy to lose all of your money on a "losing streak" so that you never get to the "winning Streak".

It is unusual to have long runs of losses with a good trading system, but it can happen and yet still maintain the same win to loss ratio. If you learn to employ a strict system of money management, together with a trading method that in general gives you more wins than losses and bigger profits than losses on those wins then you will be able to smile at your losses, because you will know that over time, you will still be profitable.

Being able to smile at your losses in the same way that you are able to smile at your profitable trades is an essential emotional quality, and it is one that can only be developed by employing strict money management.

Forex Robot Trading Platform Programs

Forex Robot Trading Platform Programs - Which One to Choose?

If you are looking to buy a forex robot trading platform it can be very difficult to establish which ones which ones are best. There are so many on the market that it is very difficult to tell at first the differences between them, let alone which ones work and which ones do not. In this article I will share with you my experiences and also tell you which forex robot I use as well as how much money it makes me.

About 12 months ago I was looking to diversify my investment portfolio as I saw that the US credit markets were about to go into crisis and cause negative effects on the equity markets. I chose to invest in the forex markets for the following reasons:

  • Forex markets are not correlated to equity stock markets meaning if equities go down, the forex markets do not follow suit.
  • It is incredibly cheap to trade forex because there is no commission on trades that you execute.
  • Forex markets do not have downward trends. This is due to the two way nature of currency trades. When you buy one currency you sell another meaning that as one currency appreciates in value, by default another will fall in value. This means that no matter what the economic climate there are always opportunities to make money in the forex markets.

After taking the plunge to start trading forex I followed the advice of a friend and bought the same forex robot trading platform that he uses. The main thing that attracted me to this particular product was the full no questions asked money back guarantee that it came with.

Being ever cautious I started executing very small trades to see how I would get on. It wasn't long before I was making money and increasing the size of my trades. What I like best is that if I want I can set the trading program to actually execute trades when I am not there. A few times I have actually made money while I've been asleep.

Forex Trading Made Simple

Forex Trading Made Simple

Forex trading may seem rather daunting at first. So much to learn, and possibly a big risk if you have not learned enough! Not anymore!

There are a few good 'Forex Trading Systems' out there, where you invest an initial amount of money, and the system does the rest for you. The most recent product to market makes things even easier. As long as you have an internet connection, and a computer you can leave on nearly 24/7, you can benefit from the software. It allows you to set the trading system on autopilot, making the decisions for you, and this latest system makes some good decisions. On average, 90% of attempted trades are won, that means for every 5 trades, 4.8 of them are profitable.

The trading system works by making its decisions based upon future forecasts, from data gathered within the last 4 years on the trading of USD/JPY (United States Dollars/Japanese Yen). During testing, a $50,000 account was upped to an incredible $430,000 in 4 years. That is $107,500 every year from doing basically nothing but installing the software.

The average recorded number of consecutive wins on this account was 19. So that is 19 trades in a row, all of which were won. And the highest number of consecutive trades reached an astonishing 53.

This particular Forex trading system offers a 60 day or 8 week money back guarantee on the product, meaning if your not happy with the system or find it too mind boggling, you can get a refund no questions asked! If you think logically, the product is worth $250, which you could easily make back in the first 2 weeks depending your initial investment!

Forex Robots - Why They Will Not Give You Success!

Forex Robots - Why They Will Not Give You Success!

Forex robots if you believe the advertising copy means you can pay a miniscule amount of money normally a few hundred dollars and then get an income for life! Does anyone believe this nonsense? Yes loads of traders but its obvious they will never make you money for the following reason...

Never Traded - Never Proven

The aim of these systems is to make you money but they have never done this - when you strip through the copy and delve a bit deeper you will see this!

"CFTC RULE 4.41 - Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading.

Umm, so it's made no real money and of course that's what you're hoping it will achieve and really you should pay attention to the last bit of the disclaimer kills all the hyped advertising...

"Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown".

So what is the point in having great copy and colorful packaging, when the forex robot has never done what it is claimed to do i.e. make money in the markets?

Exactly - no use at all.

You will find lots of people online claiming they have made money - but they are normally affiliates for the system and they are looking to make a percentage of the sale.

As a trader I get bemused by some of the comment they make trying to get you to buy them like...

It's a robot but be cautious, you need to practice with it otherwise you will lose.

Well, a robot means it should just give you buy and sell recommendations and make money, or am I missing something?

Furthermore, many robots say you can make money by investing just $100.00 or so, well try that with any system ( even a good one ) and you are relying on luck and luck, wont get you anywhere - your account will get destroyed.

You can practice in a demo account for a few weeks. Well this is no use any forex trading system needs to be tested over a 2 year period as a minimum really and most serious traders know this.

You also hear these so called users saying you don't need to know what your doing, or you can make money with your feet up, sleeping or on the beach but that's rubbish.

Even with a good system, you need to know how and why it works so you have confidence in it and can follow it in a disciplined fashion. If you don't know the logic and why it is likely to work you will never stick with it through losing periods.

Ask yourself this question:

If the forex robots really worked, people would all be trading and not working and your local bank, brokerage or investment house would sack all the high paid dealing teams and rely on them.

Strange I haven't seen this happen yet and nor is it likely to happen, for the obvious reason - they don't work and they never will.

Call me a skeptic ( or realist is a better description) but its obvious that these systems will blow your account up and do it quickly.

5 Tips on Forex Trading

5 Tips on Forex Trading

The fastest expanding home-based business is forex trading. Imagine not having to leave the comfort of your home to work eight hours a day and earn more than a regular job with just a few click of your mouse! If you think you are in for the money in forex trading, here are 5 tips for you to consider.

1. Be a student. Learn the ins and outs of the trade from people who have lost and won in the business. Know the rules, know the systems available, know the language used. Know how people flourish in the business and know how they fall. Knowledge is power. Forex trading is not gambling, it requires knowledge and skill in order to pay off. If you want to gamble, go to a casino, if you want to do business, go forex trading.

2. Success or failure depends on you. Sure you will need the help of a broker initially or anyone in the know to be able to start off, however, brokers are there to make money out of you so why stake your future with one who does not share your goals? Equip yourself and keep yourself a pro on forex trading!

3. If you lose some money some days, take it like a man. Remember that you are in a business that does not guarantee sure-fire hits. If people are making a fortune out of it, there sure are those who lose their money to make the other side of the trading coin rich. The difference is in the attitude. Know when to fold up. If you have been losing three streaks in a row, don't make it 10! Do not trade out of your greed to get back what you just lost. There are days when this will happen and you should have that in mind. The goal is to stop the losing early.

4. Know when not to trade. If you are a novice trader meaning having comparatively smaller capital, do not engage in forex trading during off-peak hours. It is also not wise to trade when you are too high on emotion (i.e., too eager to take back what you just lost) and most likely you will depend on your feelings rather than on your tested formula for trading. Do not do this as this is harakiri. Trade as calmly and as emotionally detached as possible.

5. Do not trade all you've got. The wise thing to do is to start small and keep your trades within the 2%-5% ratio of your entire fund. Of course there is the temptation to gain big but always remember that the trade goes on 24 hours a day, 6 days per week. No need to rush yourself getting rich.

These are some of the tips to help you get by forex trading. There are many other bits and pieces of knowledge you will pick up along the way as you graduate from being a newbie to a pro in the business. Always remember the basics that you have learned for they will always be in use throughout your stay in the business.

Day Trading - The Dow Emini, Review For Wednesday

Day Trading - The Dow Emini, Review For Wednesday

It was another tug of war type of market day on Wednesday which saw the Dow endlessly struggle to keep from losing more ground. The financial news from today was mixed, and this contributed to the market appearing to have no idea what direction to take for the majority of the day. Market and YM volume was slow at times, erratic at others and this caused the point moves on the YM chart to be very questionable throughout the day. As has been the case the past two trading weeks, the potential trade set ups seen on the YM chart today continued to be choppy.

There were many times today where a trade trigger was indicated but the actual entry spot quickly disappeared as a big point candle engulfed the safer buy area. This was then followed by a lull in the action where the point move would actually come to a complete stop or the volume would slow to where you had no idea what was going to take place next. The trend of the safer trades occurring during the first two hours was in effect again today, but even the majority of those set ups were ones that made me think twice about trading them. It's always easy to go back and look at the better point gaining trades at the end of the day and think about what could have been, but at the time those trades developed there was little indication that the point move would result in a decent gain.

I stuck to my game plan of trading cautious today and even though I missed a couple of decent winners I'm happy that I didn't get caught up in making the same mistakes I made yesterday. I could have easily made those same mistakes today but it was obvious after the first two hours of trading that the risk factor and odds of making a mistake were increasing so my decision to slow down was the correct one, at least for me. There's always another day and another opportunity to do better.

I mentioned earlier that news from today was mixed and here's a quick description of what the bigger headlines were. Oil prices slightly dropped, US factory orders gained a bit in July and the battered financial sector gained some ground on the day. Yet, the market struggled the entire session to keep from rolling over and playing dead. Joe Battipaglia, chief investment officer for Ryan Beck&Co was quoted as saying, "All of the market data the past two weeks has been very good," pointing to Wednesday's factory order data, falling oil prices and a recent revision upward of the second quarter GDP. He was then quoted as saying, "Despite all of that, you didn't get a commensurate market performance and that's troubling." In Deacon Mike's translation, Joe means that since the market didn't display a sustained upward move over the past few weeks and the volume levels in the market are low, be prepared for the markets to head lower.

Maybe the markets will tank and maybe they wont. I doubt anyone really knows what's going to happen tomorrow much less a month or so down the road. I do know that there's a lot more negative factors out there that can effect the market than there are positive ones. The drop in oil prices doesn't seem to have much of a positive effect on the markets right now and we still have pending hurricanes that could cause the price of oil to jump. We still have a bunch of geo political issues to deal with and the housing and financial sector problems are nowhere close to turning the corner. I tend to think that all of these overhanging issues are the reason traders are either being cautious or sitting on the sidelines. This results in seeing what we saw today, back and forth market action with little conviction or support for any type of trend that was created. I guess the lesson here is to be prepared no matter what the market does.

Why Do We Not Give Up Our Jobs and Use Them?

Forex Trading Robots - Why Do We Not Give Up Our Jobs and Use Them?

I checked a forex trading robots track record the other day and if I ran my trading account size on its track record I would be making $324,000 a year! Not bad for an outlay of a few hundred bucks. People fall for these track records, yet they always lose why?

Because their greedy, think forex trading requires no effort or they simply don't read the disclaimer which is tucked away in the small print.

If you see a track record of a forex automated trading system on the net with this disclaimer then it probably spells a wipe out of equity here it is:

"CFTC RULE 4.41 - Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown".

So they are not real time profits there paper profits made looking backwards! Would you trust the above?

I know I wouldn't!

It amazes me how many people buy these unproven systems.

Most of the track records are so good, you wonder why the vendor even bothers selling it - he could make enough money by trading it. Of course he doesn't, because he knows it won't win and that's why you never see a real time track record.

Do savvy forex traders use them, do you see them in bank dealing rooms or do you ever see anyone who has made long term money with them - No you don't.

Today there is a huge industry in these trading systems and they appeal to the naive and greedy traders, who won't to make money with no effort.

Of course in life you get out what you put in and forex trading is no different.

Forex trading can offer you the ability to make huge profits and even a life changing income - but you must have the right mindset and get the right forex education.

A forex trading robot probably will destroy your equity - but you don't have to take the lazy path!

Forex is a challenge, an exciting one, with huge rewards so accept the challenge, get the right forex education and you can enjoy currency trading success.

Trading The Global Futures Market For Wealth Creation

Trading The Global Futures Market For Wealth Creation

With the persistent downward movement in the global stock market, the allocation of some portion of investment capital to futures trading can provide a means of achieving greater portfolio
diversification and a potentially higher overall rate of return on investments. Unlike investment in equity, a trader in futures market can make money when the market goes down as well as when the market goes up. There are also a number of ways futures and options on futures can be used in combination with other investments to pursue larger profits or to limit risks.

*WHAT IS A FUTURES CONTRACT?
Futures contracts are legally binding agreement to buy or sell a commodity such as metals or financial instrument such as stock indexes at a later date. Futures contracts are standardized according to the quality, quantity and delivery time and location for each commodity. There are two types of futures contracts, those that provide for physical delivery of a particular commodity and those that call for an eventual cash settlement. The commodity itself is specifically defined, as is the month when delivery or settlement is to occur. A july futures contract, for example, provides for delivery or settlement in july.
During the last two decades following the advent of microcomputer, participation in futures trading by individual traders has grown tremendously. Trading software has proliferated as an increasing number of traders have embraced online trading methods to participate in the global financial markets.

*TRADING THE FUTURES MARKET
Futures' trading is a technique whereby one can buy and/or sell a variety of raw and processed commodity items, as well as contracts on financial instruments, stock indices, and even individual stocks, for anticipated delivery at some point in the future. A person who buys a security futures contract enters into a contract to purchase an underlying security and is said to be 'long' the contract. A person who sells a security futures contract enters into a contract to sell the underlying security and is said to be 'short' the contract. The price at which the contract trades[the 'contract price'] is determined by relative buying and selling interest on a regulated exchange.

In order to enter into a security futures contract, you must deposit funds with your brokerage firm equal to a specified percentage[usually at least 20 percent] of the current market value of the contract as a performance bond. Moreover, all security futures contracts are marked-to-market at least daily, usually after the close of trading. At that time, the account of each buyer and seller reflects the amount of any gain or loss on the security futures contract based on the contract price established at the end of the day for settlement purposes[the 'daily settlement price']. For example, E-minus, like other futures are traded in units called 'contracts'. These contracts represent a bidding agreement to buy or sell electronic mini lot of a future contract at a specified price. You can buy contracts on oil, cotton, pork, bellies etc. Using E-mini S & P 500 futures index for our illustration, you earn [or lose] $50 per point per contract and pay a commission of $6. 20 per round trip.

Each movement of the contract between prices at which profit or loss is recognised is called a 'TICK'. For instance the S&P E-mini ticks like this:1422. 00, 1421. 75, 1421. 50, 1421. 25, 1421. 00
In other words it is divided into 4 ticks per point. Each full point is worth $50 per contract. Each tick is worth $12. 50. So if you made 6 points on 2 trades of 5 contracts each, your profit picture would look like this: 2 x 5 contracts x 6 points
=60 points x $50 =$3, 000

The only thing we have not taken into account in the above equation is the market maker's commission. Assuming the brokerage deal of about $6. 20, the commission would be $62. 00 for the trades[$6. 2 x 10], so your total profit on the 2 trades would have been $3, 000 - $62 =$2938.
The NASDAQ E-mini contracts are worth $20 per point. The NASDAQ E-mini ticks like this: 2420. 00, 2419. 50, 2419. 00.

Notice that the NASDAQ is only divided into 2 ticks per point. Each full point is worth $20. Each tick is worth $10 per contract. To trade E-minus or any futures contract for that matter you have to maintain a certain level of cash in your trading account. That amount is called 'Margin', if your broker requires a $3, 000 margin per contract [very common amount with many brokers for short term trading accounts then you would need $6, 000 in your account to trade 2 contracts. You will also need some funds over and above that as a cushion, just in case the trade does not go your way. So as in the above example, if you had a $3, 000 margin and wanted to work with 2 contracts, you would need to have about $8, 000 in your account [$6, 000 for the margin and $2, 000 cushion]. You could do it with less, but you will be required to have at least the margin in your account or you won't be allowed to make any 2 contract trades. Commissions are often expressed in terms of 'Round Trips'. That means a buy and sell, or a sell and buys. Each time you get in a trade and then back out is a round trip. You will see various prices all over the net for these commissions. Some brokers will give you a very low commission rate, but a higher margin. It is worth it to you as a trader to pay a slightly higher commission if you can get a nice low margin! The low margin will allow you to play with more contracts and increase your profits with less money in your account.

*PARTICIPATION IN FUTURES MARKET
Individual, investment group or corporate organisation can trade in any of the major futures market of their choice. This is made possible by the advent of online trading. Online trading allows traders to actively participate in buying and selling of futures and equity in any major stock exchange market across the world. The trader is link up directly into the market through software called platform.
A platform is the software you will actually use to make trades with. Your demo account is a platform. When you go live you will be using the same software or platform [or at least you should learn the platform, is part of the battle in becoming a trader] that you used with your demo. Since trading in the global futures and equity market is real time, therefore, an aspiring successful trader must have the right tool, system and attitude to succeed. Traders must also have some level of capital and the relevant knowledge required to analyse the market proper. There are two ways to carry out market analysis. [a] Fundamental analysis [b] Technical analysis.

Fundamental analysis focuses on external factors such as interest rates, the general economic performance, and social and geo-political factors that drive supply and demand that affect the performance of companies that makes up the component units of financial markets. Three main factors that impact stock market movements from a fundamental perspective are:

[a] GOVERNMENT POLICY AS IT RELATES TO INTEREST RATE: The cost of borrowing within the local economy. Since this is a direct cost to corporate organisations, it has an effect on profitability on companies operation.

[b] ECONOMIC INDICES: These are the indicators that show the state of health [performance] of the economy of the country where the market is situated in one hand and the state of world economy in general.

[c] GEO-POLITICAL FACTORS: This is the extent of social stability across the world. The effect of events such as crisis, change in government, natural disaster, threat of terrorist attack, policy changes play a significant role in determining the ability of corporate world to operate profitably. While technical analysis involves the forecasting of stock price movement based solely upon statistics and price pattern. Simply put, technical analysis is the analysis of the market based on price action. While fundamental analysis looks at economic factors and geopolitical conditions [such as economic numbers, capital flows and key political events] in an attempt to forecast exchange rates;technical analysis relies on the statistics and patterns in price movement for its forecast. Technical analysis has gained great popularity in recent history, especially as trends in computerized trading continue to develop and active traders continue to refine their strategies to best assess what is going on in the market at all times. Coinciding with the increasing popularity of computerised trading across all investment arenas is the ability for traders to employ technical analysis. As markets tend to become inundated with information and as charting applications are able to provide traders with an increasing array of data, technical analysis has become both practical and relevant. I n today's marketplace, technical analysis has become an essential tool for any aspiring trader.

A lack of discipline is the absolute biggest reason why traders fail in future option trading. As a result of a lack of discipline, emotions get in the way and the result is disaster. What is needed is a trading system when it comes to CBOT future. Trading with a system does away with emotions from future option trading.

Usually what follows is panic and indecision when the market does go your way, as you do not have a prepared response. That's when most CBOT future traders lose their money. If you follow a system you will know what to do no matter what the market does.

Forex Trading Basics - 10 Commonly Held Wisdoms That Will Destroy Your Account

There is a lot of good forex trading education on the web and a lot which will ruin you. The 10 so called common wisdoms on how to make money don't. This might be why 95% of traders lose, so avoid them and get the right forex education and win.

1. You can Follow a Forex Robot and Win

You can but there are very few robots that do win.

It's an industry designed to appeal to greed and the fact is most of the robots have never even been traded - they are all simulated in hindsight ( check the disclaimer) and never likely to win going forward, as there simply made up knowing the past - How hard is that? Not very. Pay $100 and make $100,000 a year, is not real life!

2. You need to predict prices to win

Prediction is another word for hoping and guessing and wont get you far and you will find your market timing and you're trading signals are as accurate as your horoscope!

Act on the reality of price change on your forex charts and forget prediction - know one knows the future, so trade the reality and the truth and you will have the odds on your side.

3. Buy low and sell high is a Great Way to Make Money

It would be if you could do it but you can't and you will get involved in prediction and also keep in mind this simple fact - most big trends start from breaks of new market highs, so you need to buy and sell higher, to catch the really big forex trends.

If you are not familiar with breakout trading make it part of your forex education if you do, you will catch all the best moves and be in on the high odds trades

4. You Should see if You Can Win With a Demo Account

You might win with a demo account but what does that prove? Nothing, as real hard cold dollars are not on the line.

There is no pressure and forex trading is a pressure industry. To win you have to trade with the pressure on you and demo accounts don't do this.

5. Learn From Your Losses

Learn what - you lost! Big deal losing is part of the game. If you executed your trading signals in line with your system you learn absolutely nothing, don't bother it's a waste of time

6. Continually Learn

If you have a forex trading strategy that's logical you have confidence in and works - why change it?

We all want perfection but it's not possible. I have used the same system for 22 years and never changed it.

Sure, my forex trading system is not perfect but no ones is; it works and makes money and that's good enough for me.

7. Day trading and Scalping Works

Really? Ever seen a day trader with a track record of real profits?

Exactly, there all simulated profits not real ones, just like the forex robots we referred to earlier.

Forget this form of trading, the data is too short to try and work out what millions of traders will do in a few hours is futile.

8. Only Risk 2% Per Trade

Maybe if you have 100k or more but for small potato investors you can't take such small risks as your account will be destroyed by volatility - look to risk 10 - 20% and trade only high odds sets ups...

Better to risk more on these great trades, than low odds trades with 2%.

Most traders try to avoid risk so much they create it - don't make the same mistake.

9. Diversification Reduces Risk

It also dilutes profit potential. If you have a good high odds trade, don't dilute its potential for profit with low odds trades.

Diversification, if you have 100k plus can work but really it's not a way to make a small accounts equity grow quickly.

10. You Need Information Quickly

Why? It doesn't help you win and never will. Everyone has the information quickly, so you can't respond to it or gain an edge, so don't bother trying.

This is one of the biggest myths of forex trading and will make you lose. Stand back and watch the big picture, not the impact of every short term event.

So there you have some currency trading basics, in terms of wisdoms, that are commonly accepted and you should avoid. keep in mind the majority doesn't win so, what most think is true ...well - You know the answer!

Best Currency Trading Advice

I'm here to help you get the best currency trading advice that I have to give. I going to help you look at trading as a simple task to make money, rather than this complicated task that makes you feel like you're gambling.

The first thinking pattern you're going to need to learn is that the value of a currency is only useful if it is in contrast with another. Saying the USD = 1.02 means absolutely nothing to you, but USD/CAD = 1.02 does. All I'm trying to say is that you got to always be looking at currencies in pairs. A currency doesn't have a value, only a value with respect to other currencies.

The next thing you're going to have to get past is something we get from our consumer culture; cheap prices. We as consumers are always looking for cheap prices on what we buy. The cheaper it is, the better off we think we are. But this only applies if you plan to buy and use for yourself. In this business you're buying with the intention of selling later. What you'll learn is that the price you sell at, is much more important than the one you buy at. Expensive currencies that are expected to keep going up are probably a better buy than cheap currencies that don't have an expected outcome.

Lastly, you need to develop a confident demeanor. The last thing you need is to get cautious and hesitate on trades. It only causes you to miss out on opportunities and stress out. The only real way to gain confidence is through positive experience, so that's why I suggest you use a demo account to make real live trades without actually using your own money. This gives you real world experience and when you're comfortable enough, you can start to use your own money.

Set the Difference Between Novice and Professional Trader

From the previous article, I mentioned another 4 trading rules after you enter the trade, no 5 - Never average out a losing position, no 6 - Always update yourself with Economy calendar, no 7 - Always update yourself with the Stock news, no 8 - Always do analysis after market close.

Lastly in this trilogy of the trading rule articles, I would like to share more about the trading psychology.

Rule 9 - If you have experience 3 consecutive loss, take a break. Stock market is always changing, if you only use one strategy, it may not work all the time. Making losses in trading is something common, but if you continuously experience loss, probably it is a good indication for you to take a break. Stop trading for at least 1 - 2 week, do other stuff besides just sitting in front of the computer, go for a short trip so that you can relax your mind. Read your trading journal and revise all the good and bad trades, so that you can tweak your trading strategy to fit into the current market.

Rule 10 - Follow the rules you set. Whatever the rule is, follow it with your discipline. You can break somebody rule, but if you break your own rule, you are totally unforgiven. If you would have broken your own rules, why would you have set the rules in the first place, right? The market is always tempting you to change your own rule, frankly speaking, it is not easy for me either. Therefore discipline is your good friend in trading.

Rule 11 - Always work with your patience. Refrain yourself to enter the trade too soon even if you see a golden opportunity. Always wait for more confirmation either from the technical or fundamental point of view. Although I agree that every trader should be confident, but in trading, you need to follow the market, not your feeling, because feeling can be wrong but market never wrong. Therefore, wait and find the best timing to enter the market. If you do not trade, you are in wining position because you keep your money safely in your pocket.

Rule 12 - Always work with your passion. Without passion, trading become a job or a tool to make money, you will never experience the excitement and understand the art of trading. Somebody just aim to make money, but to become a professional trader, your aim to make money is secondary, but your primary aim is to trade well and trade right! Therefore, always trade with your passion and continue to grow in your experience and knowledge, and your success will be just a step closer.
